Xia Zhiye stared at Li Xiaomi silently, his eyes deep.
Li Xiaomi returned his gaze with a clear and transparent look, with all her emotions visible at a glance.
Finally, Xia Zhiye sighed deeply: "Don't speak, don't make a sound. Before I allow, the relationship between us can only be that of landlord... and tenant to the outside world. Can you accept it?"
"I can."
Without any hesitation, she answered in just a moment. As if she was worried that Xia Zhiye would not believe her, she even stretched out her hand: "I can really do it. I can even hold back and only send you three text messages a day... How about... two? No less."
She looked at Xia Zhiye pitifully.
Xia Zhiye laughed, stretched out his hand and gently touched her forehead: "For the first time, I realized that the one who has the most control over me is actually you."
At this point, he paused and said, "This will be very hard! I can't enjoy the constant sweetness between normal boyfriends and girlfriends. Only in our private space can you be completely dependent on me."
"Are they... scary?"
Li Xiaomi asked worriedly: "Although, I have never asked if you are in danger. But compared to myself, I am more worried about you. I am just a useless little girl who can only draw... Even if I die, it won't matter. But you must protect..."
Xia Zhiye stretched out a finger and blocked her lips. He shook his head and said, "You will drive me crazy. If the world destroys you, I will probably tear off the disguise of a so-called superhero and become a complete lunatic, dragging the world to destruction together."
"Then you become a villain!"
Li Xiaomi said quickly: "That won't do. If that happens, those bad guys who are frightened by you will definitely be very happy. We can't let them be happy..."
Xia Zhiye blinked his eyes. So far, it seemed that there were no bad guys who were scared by him.
There was a sudden flash of light on the bracelet, and a communicator appeared out of thin air in Xia Zhiye's hand and hung it on his ear: "I'm here."
"The plane is ready, on the tarmac at Camp Lehigh."
Natasha's voice came from the other end: "Even at the fastest speed, it will take nearly two hours to reach London. The flight application has been approved and you can leave at any time."
Xia Zhiye nodded.
Li Xiaomi was stunned for a moment: "Are you leaving?"
"Yeah." Xia Zhiye nodded but didn't say anything.
"I'm fine." Li Xiaomi smiled. "Actually, I've been thinking about this for a long time... Really, a very long time. So, this moment that suddenly came is really a pleasant surprise for me. Well, I should calm down. You go and do your own thing, and let me calm down."
"… "
Xia Zhiye could easily see through the little woman's white lie. In the end, he smiled helplessly and looked at Li Xiaomi seriously: "The last sentence... I don't know if this is fair to you. If one day, you figure it out and suddenly want to leave me, I..."
Before he could finish his words, Li Xiaomi suddenly threw herself into his arms.
She hugged Xia Zhiye's neck awkwardly and timidly, and then said softly: "I'm useless. I can't do anything except drawing. So, I can't help you with things like superheroes, flying around, and fighting wits with bad guys. Even if I hide myself, I have already tried my best. But... please don't underestimate me. I am a member of the Li family. Once I am determined, it will be for life. Unless I die, don't even think about getting rid of me!"
"… good."
Xia Zhiye patted the girl's back gently.
Li Xiaomi let him go: "Go ahead, hero."
“… I suddenly feel that this name is not as harsh as it used to be.”
Xia Zhiye grinned, stood up, and returned to his room: "Don't come over, don't contact."
He snapped his fingers, and the Eye of Horus in the air disappeared. Xia Zhiye returned to his room and closed the door.
Li Xiaomi sat in the living room, waiting quietly.
Time passed by minute by minute, and then she came to the door of Xia Zhiye's room and knocked gently.
It was empty and cold inside, without any echo.
She rather opened the door handle, and the room was empty.
She stood in the empty room for a while, then she suddenly threw herself onto Xia Zhiye's bed, rolled twice on it, then curled up her body and covered her face.
A pair of eyes appeared between fingers, some were red, but more of them were filled with joy that could not be concealed no matter what.
"Calm down, be calm, don't be nervous!"
Li Xiaomi got up from the bed and left reluctantly: "Is there someone watching outside? Well, I didn't live so suspiciously in the past, and I can't live like that now. I have to be frank. Even if I'm pretending under the camera, I can't reveal the slightest clue."
Come out of the room and close the door gently.
She looked at the room in front of her, and the memories of the two people seemed to appear in every corner of the room.
The smile on the corner of his mouth grew bigger and bigger, and finally he suddenly started to laugh wantonly and unscrupulously: "Finally I got it!"
…
…
Xia Zhiye was obviously unaware of the insolence of a certain little woman in the family.
Stepping into Camp Caspian again, Xia Zhiye did not alarm Bucky, but went straight to the helipad.
Everything had been prepared long ago. Since they were in a honeymoon period with SHIELD, they naturally got a lot of good things from SHIELD.
The most valuable of them is the Sky Carrier, but at the same time, there are also many matching fighter jets... For example, the Quinjet!
Xia Zhiye boarded the fighter plane, and someone in front of him turned around and looked at him: "Are you reluctant to leave your girlfriend?"
The familiar voice and the somewhat strange tone made Xia Zhiye a little stunned: "Why are you here?"
"Of course I'm here to see you off." Natasha withdrew her gaze from Xia Zhiye and said in confusion, "Why do I feel like there's a strange aura about you? Are you happy and doubtful at the same time? Are you feeling very heavy?"
“… It’s heavy, but mostly joyful.”
Xia Zhiye found a place to sit down: "Just now, I have a girlfriend."
Natasha paused for a moment, then curled her lips: "You are really slow. Of course, I know your character, so this is normal. So, you really said goodbye to your girlfriend just now?" (To be continued)
